Reprogrammable Hydroplastic Latex Films and Water‐Driven Phase Separation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hydroplastic latex films with discontinuous hydrophobic phases surrounded by continuous hydrophilic phases, are prepared. Upon immersion in water, the latex films have water‐driven phase separation. ABSTRACT Thermoplastics are a class of plastic polymers that can be remolded repeatedly by heating and cooling.
